Disneyland Paris Soars into Record Books with Dazzling Bastille Day Drone Show

Disneyland Paris celebrated Bastille Day in spectacular fashion, setting a new Guinness World Record title for the “Largest aerial display of a fictional character formed by multirotors/drones.” The breathtaking display featured 1,571 drones, illuminating the night sky with a giant tricolor Mickey Mouse head soaring above Sleeping Beauty Castle.

“We are thrilled and proud to have set this GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title,” said Ben Spalding, Entertainment Producer at Disneyland Paris.

Bastille Day, the French National Day, commemorates the Storming of the Bastille in 1789, a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. Paying homage to the French flag, the Mickey Mouse head was adorned with blue, white, and red stripes, creating a patriotic spectacle.

The record-breaking drone display was part of a larger 12-minute nighttime show meticulously crafted by Disneyland Paris Entertainment in collaboration with Dronisos. Over 1,630 drones, including pyro-drones, painted the sky with scenes from iconic Disney stories inspired by France. “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The Aristocats,” and “Ratatouille” were all represented, alongside national symbols like the Eiffel Tower and the rose window of Notre Dame Cathedral.
